Stamp Review Crew: Coffee Cafe

It is Stamp Review Crew time again! And this time we are featuring the Coffee Cafe stamp set. It has coordinating dies, 😍😍😍!

For those who are new to the Stamp Review Crew, here is a little
background. We are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators
that gets together on the first and third Mondays of every month to do a
blog hop. Each hop features a single stamp set to give you loads of
inspiration for that set! The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog,
and you will be able to click through each hop at any time, going
directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want! And you can click
on the banner of this post to go to the master blog roll for this hop also.

If you are hopping along in order, you just arrived from the lovely Sue Plote's blog. I am certain that she is a hard act to follow 😉

I am feeling a little uninspired this week. I may have used up my juice
on some projects I made for a blog hop later this week... But we can
always do some watercolor!

I stamped the cup and phrases in Versamark on Watercolor paper, then Clear heat embossed. A wash of Sahara Sand, then Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party on the cups. The sentiment is a combination of a selectively inked "coffee" from one of the phrases, and a "birthday" from the Number of Years stamp set. I thought the fonts went well together.

Inside, I did some more selective inking with an Early Espresso marker on the birthday phrase from the Special Celebrations stamp set and the same "coffee" image used on the front.

Then I made a discovery. A gift card fits behind the largest coffee cup! So I made these gift card holders 😀

And I made a video tutorial for it. I may be getting a little better at this video thing... it has only taken about 40 of them, lol! Still plenty of room for improvement.

Look at that! It fits perfectly!

The inside of this one is my favorite, I think. What do you think?

OK, you know I had to go there. And you know you want to go there too 😉

The Here for You stamp set is the perfect addition to this project. And you can't see it, but the piles (of what, I will let you decide) are sparkly with Clear Wink of Stella!

life, just click the image in the supply list below and it will take you

address! And I promise to only send you happy mail, no junk mail :)

Those were amazing, Tanya!!! I can't believe how much awesomeness you came up with for not having any ideas... I love how youplayed around and switched up the sentiments. And that poop card is perfect!! Thanks for another fabulous hop!

For supposedly lacking mojo, you sure hit this one out of the park! And THAT is why you are an Artisan Designer! I may have choked on my coffee when saw the last card. I never would have thought "poop" but it was brilliant! (In more ways than one, LOL.)
